Had to learn Them Bones for my band, by alice in chains of course. It's like three total riffs in the song, really 2.5. Solo wasn't hard but very fun to play.
Our drummer sucks ass, but playing this stuff in a band feels awesome. I had to transpose and play it on a 7 in B standard, so it doesn't sound EXACTLY the same as the original.

Pretty smart to partner with Sweetwater for the distribution they can give being this is NeuralDSP's first piece of hardware. They also put up a pre-order page, so hopefully getting one won't be a super long wait. The original pre-orders on NeuralDSP site should be shipping soonish I tihnk

Sold a 72 Custom a few years back for a huge profit. Bought it in the 90's for $800. Loved the guitar but they were experimenting with woods back then. Damn thing weighed a ton and would wear me out on stage. Great tone though and had sustain that lasted forever.
Kind of wish I kept it for recording purposes. Can't seem to replicate that sound with my other Les Paul, the one that doesn't break my back.

Yeah this thing was heavy AF and sounded HOT. Dug that aspect of the tone. But it was damn near $4k and it wasn't THAT good.

looks cool though honestly I am not sure I would want my pedal switches doubling as rotary knobs. The fact that every parameter on the unit has midi CC mapping is awesome and has tons of potential, especially with midi/ableton/maxmsp.
I dont know about these expensive all in one DSP units though. I need to compare it to my cheap ones one day when the rona is gone and I can test pedals in store again.

I just bought a new EHX pitch shifter + last week to replace my busted digitech wh2 and have been playing with it for about 2 hours a day for a week ( that work from home life lets me pretty much practice while I do work).
you can set 2 pitch shift settings at once and route them to external speakers which is pretty insane. I have been splitting up my pedals or using delay and chorus through the external out to another input on my recording unit to get some really interesting stereo tracks. I havent really touched the modx section but I have made some pretty sick presets that I want to use in recording situations.

I have a 75 LP Custom.. it is heavy but it is hot and sounds incredibly good. Standing up with it for more than an hour wears on you though.

Ha I bought it because it didn't have the 24 frets. Had a CE24 but it felt super strange, the Paul's Guitar felt just right. Too expensive though it is a great guitar!

I also looked at a PRS when I was at Carter last week. Dug how it played, but it just didn't sound right. Too warm. Plus I know the style of neck on a Kiesel/Carvin is way more up my alley. I love a thin profile neck and that's exactly what they deliver. Plus you can get them with a tung oil finish which is way better than a polyurethane or lacquered neck. That shit gets so sticky while tung is always silky smooth.
